but are still pretty broken

Warbox 0.0.3.9

WARBOX 0.0.3.8
You may notice characters are able to take significant damage before dying. It's part of the new medical system that I'm still working on. Instead of a set health value and a character dying when the value reaches 0, character health uses a new vital system that is still early in the works. Remember this is TEMPORARY. In the meantime, have fun lighting characters up with a massive amount of bullets.

Warbox Plans for 0.0.3.6

FPS SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS



What you see in this video is procedural recoil and procedural weapon sway. This video also shows off the AKM-S rifle which will be included in 0.0.3.6 which is part of my effort to remake and readd a lot of the content from Unreal Engine 4 Warbox into Unreal Engine 5 Warbox.

STEAM WORKSHOP DETAILS



I am also working on Steam Worskhop Integration into Warbox. This will take a lot of time to get done because this involves reworking some of the systems in Warbox to be compatible with Steam Workshop. That being said I cannot guarantee that Steam Workshop Integration will be included in the 0.0.3.6 update.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH INITIAL STEAM WORKSHOP INTEGRATION



  • Sharing custom character creations
    (Sharing individual characters with other players)
  • Sharing custom character creations in sets
    (Sharing entire player made factions with other players)


EXTRA NOTES


There is a lot more new content, new changes, bugfixes, and more that will be included in Warbox 0.0.3.6.

Some people ask...
"Why use Discord when I can use Steam Announcements?"

When posting a Steam Announcement, each one has to get looked over and verified before being visible to the public. Discord allows me to make rapid fire posts and keep the community updated in real time.

Anyways thanks for the support. Be sure to stay tuned for Warbox 0.0.3.6. The goal is to get the update out at the end of November.

WARBOX 0.0.3.5

IMPORTANT NOTES


So, I've recently made huge discoveries looking for the problems that cause low frames per second. The main culprit I've always known was the facial animations and skeleton. I've finally found a way to massively increase fps by creating an automatic system that disables facial animations when a character is far away. I've also added a setting that lets players decide if they even want to use facial animations at all. It is up to the player if they want to get the most fps out as possible or stick with the new system that I've added.

This change has displayed a 30fps increase on my end. I would love to get feedback on this. Let me know in the discussions if this update helped your performance.

NEW CHANGES



  • Added facial animation checkbox to graphics setting screen (DISABLE FOR BEST POSSIBLE FPS)


BUGFIXES


Visual



  • Fixed floating head when character is dead and far away
